Line 21:
 
The UK's [[W: Electoral Reform Society | Electoral Reform Society]] recommends essentially this method.<ref>[http://www.cix.co.uk/~rosenstiel/stvrules/ Single Transferable Vote Rules] UK Electoral Reform Society</ref> Every preference continues to count until the choices on that ballot have been exhausted or the election is complete. Its main disadvantage is that given large numbers of votes, candidates and/or seats, counting is administratively burdensome for a manual count due to the number of interactions. This is not the case with the use of computerised distribution of preference votes.
 
From May 2011 to June 2011, The [[W: Proportional Representation Society of Australia | Proportional Representation Society of Australia]] reviewed the Wright System noting:
 
<blockquote>
While we believe that the Wright System as advocated by Mr. Anthony van der Craats system is sound and has some technical advantages over the PRSA 1977 rules, nevertheless for the sort of elections that we (the PRSA) conduct, these advantages do not outweigh the considerable difficulties in terms of changing our (The PRSA) rules and associated software and explaining these changes to our clients. Nevertheless, if new software is written that can be used to test the Wright system on our election counts, software that will read a comma-separated value file (or OpenSTV blt files), then we are prepared to consider further testing of the Wright system.{{citation needed|date=December 2016}}
